No tsunami threat was associated with the quake, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said. The quake was felt across Southern California, with aftershocks of 2.6 to 3.5 magnitude felt in the area, according to the geological survey.
There were no immediate reports of major damage, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
